[Mikvandorp]

The accelerometer of my x performance stops after some days so auto-rotate and other stuff does not work anymore until I reboot...

+ Much better battery life
+ 10 to customer service

1 day passed after update seems screen rotation problem was solved..

[JohanKarlsson]

The problem still isn´t solved. Works for a couple of hours. It's ridiculous how long this have been going on. Regret buying this phone. Sony should be able to fix a problem like this way faster!

Even with 297? You would be the first who still has this issue.

Hi,
I have 1 week with my Xperia x performance and the accelerometer is not working properly.
I have to restart the phone every moment.
Is the only way can work, but just few minutes..
I need help..
My software version is 35.0.A.1.282

Please read *sigh*

Temporary fix: disable Google location history
Permanent (?) fix: wait for new firmware 297

For those who live in a restricted update country and still have this issue, disable google location history:

- The location history only records where you have been, as opposed to location services which is used by apps like Pokemon Go & Chrome & Maps to help you navigate places some more info can be found in an article by Alex Dobie at Android Central

This shouldnt be an issue if your Xperia build number is 297 check under:

Settings > About phone > Build number (last entry)

No issues for my phone for two days better battery life also.
